Hey Sabena I thought you were going out of business:) You are right now there is no way you can daytrade this thing, there is hardly anything to see on a 5min chart anyway.

Why can't I use the hotkeys to enter a stop and set the stop level ? I would like to prepare my stop before my order to enter a position is sent, the use of hotkeys for both would speed up things. Same for trailing the stop once in a position, by the time I clicked and scrolled up or down, NQ...

MichaelDay, Are those charts from QCharts? Is it reliable? Personally I think shorting NQ is really difficult, there is some fallacy in the old saying "markets go down faster than they go up", NOT INTRADAY and certainly not when it comes to Nasdaq and S&P Futures I am only papertrading the...

Why would I pay $40 a month and still have this lame ad window on my screen? C'mon what a joke! I wish QQL offered the emini, it's head and shoulders above this company'offerings.

OK thank you. It seems like I keep coming with questions all the time. I am doing some work to prepare tomorrow and I am looking at AMAT and Nov01 32.5 Call(from PC QUOTE): 3.00+0.80 2.45 2.65 231 1299 32.5 3.00 1.03 0.40 0.098 -0.019 83.69% 32.5 AMAT finished the day way...

Some other practical questions here: what are the trading hours on options exchanges other than CBOE (8:30AM-3:00PM CT)? Is there anything like ECN's in afterhours or are you just f*cked if the underlying stock goes against you big in afterhours? And while I am at it, how is IB Best for options...

What about CAC 40? Is it volatile and liquid enough ?

Actually I use it as a second (third with my broker's quotes) data source, when it works it 's very good. I like the fact that you can view different time frame with a click of the mouse and above all I like to watch T&S too for the eminis, which other vendors offer T&S? (beside CQG...

What's up with LiveCharts?! It takes for ever to load and freezes all the time for the past couple of days. Anyone having the same problem? The free unregistered version sometimes stop working altogether, I prefer this one for the eminis over the registered user version which doesn't have any...

What kind of stop do you use ? How many trades per day? Do you trade more off the 30, 15 ,5 or 1 min?

I 've never done it and probably won't do it, I really can't afford to lose a few K's on one position, but I think it is sometimes not unreasonable to risk 100-200 shares if you can afford to do it. There is a pattern, if the stock sold off steadily going into the conference call that day and...

I was going to ask if anybody knew what the symbol was on Livecharts but anyway they don't carry it yet, right? Anyway I was looking at the full contract the other day, 1 min chart, that's the one I use to trade NQ and there is little activity, no bars for 1 or 2 min, erratic action, no patterns...

Anybody here trading with Tradestation Securities? They offer futures trading and I am interested in the platform capability to generate trades automatically according to one's system. That could be an edge for daytrading the emini's. Just curious to hear your experience, commissions are high...

The new mini Dow looks like a great vehicle when you consider the volatility and intraday trends of DJIA. The tick value would also allow you to keep losses small I think, great for beginners. However I looked at a delayed 1min. chart of the full contract (on Livecharts) and it doesn't seem to...

Interesting thread... I have always thought it was illegal to trade OPM unless it's in a joint account, partnership or something like that, or with a trading authorization for trading in someone else's account. If a friend, girlfriend or relative is willing to give me some money to trade...

Where did you find this example, they cannot possibly charge you 8% of the total amount! What kind of exchange rate do you get? What's their "ideal currency trading network " can you really trade spot currencies now or what?:confused:

I am starting out in options (still have to finish Mc Millan books, never placed an option trade). I have questions regarding order execution: if you bid on the inside+5cents with small size (10 contracts or less) is your order displayed and what are the odds of getting a fill? Same when...

Question to El Cazador, I have been using a cable modem ever since I started trading and I don't see myself using anything else (DSL maybe). I am thinking about relocating and I am now looking at different offerings. My current provider offers speed of 128Kbps/3Mbps, the other providers I am...

Interesting article this month in Active Trader on prop firms. Basically it warns you against "the catch" at prop firms . It reminds you not to buy into the hypes.

Can anybody update us on the execution confirmation problem some IB users experienced with Globex contracts?
